Photo Friday - 'Best of 2007'

I've kind of been waiting for a theme to post this one, and it hasn't come along, so I'll just do it for this one. Definitely one of my favorites of this year.



This picture has also been recently published for a release in January. More on that later.

First Snow

A couple of weeks ago we had our first significant snowfall of the year. A couple days after that, we had freezing fog, similar to what we had in February of this year.

Here are a few favorites from the recent freezing fog:

Over this past weekend, despite ridiculous, alarmist predictions of seventeen inches of snow for our area of which only around seven actually fell, we had little problem getting out of the house both Saturday and Sunday.

The Force Was With Them

...for a few seconds, at least.

If I had seven grand to burn (so to speak), I'd probably order a brand new D3 and some decent glass to go with it (and then go crazy waiting 4-6 months for it all to arrive).

These guys chose a slightly different path. They decided to build a life-size X-wing, launch it and hope for the best.

Now, why didn't I think of that?

Because I'm not a GENIUS like these guys!


Is that a beautiful sight, or what?
